@Shanus I have a thicker/kinda messy looking (in a good way, ha) one and a thinner one in my strawberry blond color and Yes! you have to dull them up a bit or they don't look as life like. I use dry shampoo but powder is a good idea as well.
Shawn's looks a little bit off to me but the ones I have aren't as big and do look more convincing.
Both mine are the elastic band type. It's so funny that Shawn just recently wore one and that this was mentioned because I actually have a headband type one in my Amazon cart now waiting.
I like them mostly when I have my hair in a low pony tail or bun. It just adds a little interest and height (but not as high as Shawn's) ala @Desertdi 's pictutre...haha
